Default RE: Very disappointed in Muzzy BH performance

<font color=red>&quot;So your saying the most likely answer is that I have the skill and form to shoot tight groups out to 30 yards yet somehow randomly I just lose it completely and shoot with such bad form that a flyer that misses the mark by anywhere from 8&quot;--2' results?? Something that I can count on one hand that has happened with my field points in thousands of shots now occurs sometimes as often as 25%.&quot;</font id=red>

Seriously, yes...it happens. I used to shoot a LOT of upper-level paper tournaments. Shot a lot of 3D also. I've seen national champions, that could shoot 59 & 60-X 300 rounds routinely, put one off the five spot target and have no clue what just happened. I've seen top 3D pro shooters completely tank easy shots, and be left wondering how it happened.

It's the human part of archery. No one, no matter how good they are, will ever 100% eliminate the occasional flyer. The best of the best get to the point that they are all but non-existant...but it still happens. We're not shooting machines, we're people. As such we make mistakes. No shame in it at all.

BTW, about the broadheads. If you're not confident in them, you should switch to something else. Confidence in one's equipment is important, and if it's not there it's not there. I've had similar experiences with other heads, and I got rid of them. When you're sitting on stand, watching that deer come in, is no time to be wondering if your broadheads are up to the task.
